Vectrex Mail Plane with Pen

[kinmanyuen]

awesome game and innovative gameplay

[AlirazaVideoGames]

looks like a great game but how do you play it? a walk and talk through would be nice!

My father worked on most of the Vectrex games in addition to the system itself. Still has a ton of partial cartridges along with working ones. A few prototype games that never made the stores. Mailplane was one of my favorites, although the last time my folks brought it out for the grandkids I wasn't able to get it working consistently. After 30 years the system still works though, just have to prop some of the cartridges "up" with whatever so that the connectors will meet.

@lunarvines Wow! That is pretty neat. Please thank your dad for making my childhood full of Vector goodness. :) My brother and I had a lot of good times playing the Vectrex when we were kids.

Oh and if you ever want to sell or donate any Vectrex stuff I can assure you it would be well cared for and displayed in my collection.

The sound fx are sick!

man the vectrex is state of the art.

It cleverly uses the limited graphics display to form an art and make good use of it.

this looks pretty cool....wish i could get my hands on a light pen....so pricey though, i just missed out on one off of ebay for 100 bucks

[retrocollector1]

thats a great copy of mail plane you've got.

my copy stops working when the plane is getting ready to take off on the runway :(

[Videogamehistorian00]

well just built a lightpen myself, seeing how this game was never released I'll see if Jhon Dondzila can make me a repo cart

[evildead818]

looks cool! why was it never released?

[awesomepivots]

what is a light and how do u get one?

[Darrylb500]

So, the long lost ROM has finally been found.

Looked like an original game, complete with taking place many decades before in that little one-person plane!

Mail Plane has beeen proved to be real at last!

[garyabc]

Have owned it for 20 yrs but just found out about the light pen! Have the game for sale on ebay right now.

Pretty darn cool! Where did you get Mail Plane, anyway? Do you own a prototype of the game?
